I am a third year PhD student in math at the University of Toronto, where my advisor is Elden Elmanto. I completed my master's at the University of Oxford, and my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley. Here is my CV. My interests include algebraic K-theory and homotopy theory—see research for a slightly more precise description.

When I'm not doing math, I enjoy birding, cooking, and eating. I studied Chinese (普通话) and a bit of Tibetan while at UC Berkeley. I am also (slowly) learning to play the setar, and am always excited to learn about musics of the world.
